WebElement.findElements(By.className()) on a parent object returns all classes on dom that match

[aaronmagi]

WebElement linearLayouts = driver.findElementByXPath("//android.widget.LinearLayout[@index='1']");
List<WebElement> views = linearLayouts.findElements(By.className("android.widget.TextView"));

System.out.println(views.size());

I would expect to only get back the 2 elements for the TextViews in the tree attached. Instead all the elements with that class in the document are returned?
